Modified Twin Block Appliance for Jaw Growth in Boys
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a modified version of a Twin Block appliance (a type of brace) to see how it changes the position of the jaw and teeth in growing boys with a small lower jaw. It aims to help correct the bite and improve the smile.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Male patient between 10 and 14 years old
- Still growing (hand bone maturity stage 2 or 3)
- Lower jaw is smaller than normal (skeletal Class II)
- Back teeth (molars) and canine teeth are in a Class II position
- Normal vertical growth pattern (not too open or deep bite)
- Mild to moderate crowding of teeth

This study tests a removable orthodontic device (twin-block with clear plates) to improve how the upper and lower jaws fit together in children. It may help if you have a specific “Class II” jaw pattern caused mainly by a lower jaw that sits back.
This trial compares two dental appliances—Twin Block and Myobrace—to see which one better improves your airway and facial shape during the teenage growth spurt. If you have a set-back lower jaw and moderate overbite, participating could help guide your jaw growth and breathing.
This trial compares two types of braces (aesthetic functional appliances and twin blocks) to fix ‘overbite’ where the lower jaw is too small and the upper teeth stick way out. It’s for kids/teens who are still growing and haven’t had braces before.
This trial tests a special 3D-printed brace to fix underbite in children aged 8-13 who still have growing upper jaws. The brace encourages the upper jaw to grow forward and corrects the bite.
This trial tests a special dental device that is glued to the teeth to correct an underbite in children aged 8-11. It aims to improve the way the upper and lower jaws fit together.
This study looks at how jaw and palate treatments affect airflow through the upper airway in children with a specific bite and jaw shape. It may help researchers understand which treatments improve space for breathing and related pressure changes.
